BoschCounter Depth French Door Refrigerator focuses on what matters most – quality and environmental responsibility. What you do in the spotlight isn’t the measure of your stature – it’s what you do when no one is watching that truly counts. That’s why Bosch engineers have challenged themselves to reduce the environmental impact of their products – without compromising performance. This commitment is reflected in superior-quality appliances with sleek, smart design and efficient, practical innovations that use less energy. And less water.

Not because the world demanded it. But because they believe it should. Fresh new technology for food preservation. Preserving freshness is the most important function for refrigeration. At Bosch, they thought about how they could make it better by automatically keeping food fresher longer. Introducing VitaFresh. Available only on the Boschcounter depth French door refrigerator, VitaFresh works to protect the flavor, texture, and appearance of food. By keeping meat and dairy at their optimum temperature, and produce at its optimal humidity and temperature, they help preserve food budgets almost as well as the food.

We bought a Bosch fridge 2 weeks ago after our 9 yr old Maytag fridge stopped working. NEVER buy a side by side Maytag fridge!! NOTHING but trouble 2 weeks after the 1 yr warranty was up. Compressor finally quit after 9 years, lost 100’s of dollars in food, paid $100 to fix the fridge every 6 months.

Anyways, purchased a Bosch B26ft fridge w/french doors & water dispenser/ice maker. First of all, it is clean and beautiful in our kitchen. There is a lot of space for various sizes and shapes of food and food container. Maintains constant temperature with little fluctuation. I LOVE the water dispenser and ice maker. We had this in our other fridge, but the ice and water always had a background taste. The bottom mount freezer is fantastic. Very easy to organize items and therefore, you can store much more.

The only possible down side is that the exterior is easily fingerprinted/smudged. Considering the use of a fridge is to keep food stored properly, I am EXTREMELY happy with my purchase. I will update my review after 1 year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant refrigirator, awesome design, large and well lit, March 9, 2011

I purchased this from Sears with good discount. I was happy with the cost. It was scheduled for delivery after 20 days. I was nervous investing that much on a refrigerator. But when Sears folks delivered and installed it well, and I was not disappointed.

PROS:

1-Looks, it makes your kitchen a lot more sellable. Ready for HGTV?

2-Inside is roomy

3-Well lit

4-Ice and water outlet is flat and looks very modern. It is touch sensitive, not push sensitive. Just touch onto the buttons, they come off.

5-Water coming out of the dispenser is filtered and has very pleasant taste. Filter is inside the frig easy to access. It is very small, won’t take space.

6-Flexible interior adjustment: you can move few thing around, and fit a Heineken keg easily.

8-Freezer is roomy with one large bottom section, and one drawer to put boxy stuff in orderly manner.

9-External light is pleasantly lit and ambient: yet to find a way to keep it lit nonstop, but blue water-ice outlet light is very nice in dark.

10-The Ice maker does not take the entire inside section of the right door where ice dispense is located outside. It is so well designed that you can still use the inside shelf located in front of the dispenser part of the fridge. most of the other brands use the dedicate that section for ice machine.

11-Best buy for a luxury frig under $2,500.

CONS:

If any..

1- Due to nature of french-doors, the doors do not self close, Therefore, you have to give a light push to ensure that the doors close, which outlines the alarm issue many users are complaining about. But, if you close the doors properly, alarm will not sound, period. So, close the doors.:)

2-A bit pricier than average regular frig, but this is not an average frig. This is a Bosch and this model cost twice as much in Europe.

3- Stainless steel stains, but this is the nature of the stainless steel. If this is a concern for you, avoid stainless steel fridges.
